The DICHOTOMY of CONNECTION: With all the amazing ways we can connect over social media, you’d think our relationships & sense of community would be strong.
.
Vancouver (my geographical home base) is on the forefront of the tech field, with companies like Amazon, Ted Talks, and Microsoft moving offices here.
.
Our city planners have designed one of the most livable places on earth, intentionally building public spaces for community.
.
Yet, Loneliness is our most pressing social issue, according to a study that asked community leaders their insight.
.
Design of technology and space adds to quality of life - yes! But it will only truly thrive if we keep the heart and the human connection at the heart of it all.
.
I remember when I 1st moved to Vancouver, in my loneliness, I called a radio show to ask for advice on how to meet people. My voice cracked because I hadn’t spoken to anyone all week.
.
Reducing Loneliness in my city is one of my greatest motivators in CREATING SPACE FOR MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS in my calligraphy workshops & meetups.
.
I’m thrilled to announce that for the 2nd year, we’ve received a neighbourhood small ground from the @vancouverfdn to build our free meetups. Congrats on 20 years of grant-giving! #happy20NSG
.
Our PEN PRACTICE MEETUPS are where we gather for:
.
1️⃣ curated conversation about community & belonging
.
2️⃣ intentional time to practice our lettering
.
3️⃣ writing notes of encouragement to donate to women & youth in recovery.
.
If that wasn’t exciting enough, we’re multiplying! We applied for (and they said yes!) to a 2nd grant in a different neighbourhood, which will be led by @whampam_pa_ram (that’s Pam and I at our community meetup last year)
.
YOUR TURN:
.
➡️ Join me at our next PEN MEETUP on June 9 in Vancouver. Can’t make it? Sign up for the waitlist for future dates. DM or comment below if you’re coming!
.
➡️ Join me in ORGANIZING FUTURE MEETUPS, in Vancouver, or in your own city. Support provided. DM me or comment below.
.
➡️ I have a couple of spots left in my June 2 BRUSH CALLIGRAPHY WORKSHOP ((Link in bio)
.
Share with me in the comments: what’s your struggle in connecting in community?
